The large asymmetry observed in the properties of mixing of indium-sodium liquid alloy is discussed on the basis of quasi-lattice chemical model. A special attention is given to the concentration dependence of free energy of mixing, entropy of mixing and heat of mixing. The results explain the observed asymmetry in the properties of mixing of InNa liquid alloys around equi-atomic composition.

A theoretical assessment on thermodynamic properties and concentration fluctuations of Cu-Pb liquid alloys at a specified temperature has been made by using the fitted values for size ratio ( ) and order energy parameter (W) of the alloys in Quasi-Lattice Theory where the combined effect of size ratio, entropic and enthalpic effect is considered. The order energy parameter (W) of the alloys is temperature dependent and its value at the required temperature has been determined by using the value of order energy parameter at the given temperature and temperature derivative of order energy parameter ( ). The values of W at different temperatures have been used to determine the free energy of mixing of the alloys at different temperatures which are then used for the optimization procedure in order to calculate the corresponding values of partial excess free energy of mixing and activity of the constituents involved in the alloy at different temperatures. These parameters have been used to predict the concentration fluctuations in long wavelength limit (Scc(0)) at different temperatures in the entire range of concentration. Journal of Institute of Science and TechnologyVolume 22, Issue 1, July 2017, page: 25-33

A comparative study has been carried out to understand the concentration dependence of thermodynamic properties such as, free energy of mixing, heat of mixing, entropy of mixing, activity  and microscopic properties, such as concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit  and Warren-Cowley short range order parameter  of  In-based three liquid alloys (In-Pb , In-Tl and In-Zn) on the basis of self-association model. The analysis reveals that self-association model successfully explains the observed properties of the liquid alloys.  Positive deviation of the thermodynamic properties of the alloys from the Raoultian solution behaviour indicates that the alloys are weakly segregating in nature. The comparative assessment of the interaction energy and the microscopic properties suggests that the degree of segregation is greatest in In-Zn alloy and comparable in In-Pb and In-Tl alloys.BIBECHANA 13 (2016) 60-71

In the present work we have considered the antimony-indium liquid alloy which shows anomaly as regards its heat of mixing and the concentration fluctuations in the long-wavelength limit. On the other hand, the free energy of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be symmetric about the equi-atomic composition. Such alloying behaviour has been tried to explain on the basis of conformal solution model. This is a statistical mechanical model based on the formation of complex within the liquid alloy. In this model besides the interaction between unlike atoms, that between each constituent element and the complex too is taken into account. In course of theoretical treatment the activity of antimony is also computed for different concentrations. Our results indicate that Sb-In alloys are thermodynamically most stable around the equi-atomic composition.

In this work, thermodynamic and microscopic properties of Ni-Pd liquid alloy at 1873 K have been studied using a simple theory of mixture. In thermodynamic properties, free energy of mixing, heat of mixing and entropy of mixing have been studied. To understand the structural behaviour of the alloy concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit and chemical short range order parameter have been computed. The Ni-Pd melt at 1873 K is found to be slightly deviated from regular behaviour. The best estimated value of energy parameter is found to be positive. The alloy is found to be weakly segregating system. The symmetric behaviour of all functions has been well explained by the simple theory of mixing.

There are a large number of binary liquid alloys the thermodynamic properties of mixing of which are not symmetrical about the equi-atomic composition-deviating maximally from those of the ideal alloys. Here we have considered three such alloys-indium-sodium, cadmium-sodium and copper-tin-and tried to calculate their heat of mixing at different concentrations of the ingredients. The liquidus lines of these alloys reveal that the constituent species form complexes. So, we have considered a quasi-lattice chemical model for computation of the thermodynamic entities. It is a statistical model in which grand partition function is used assuming that the energy of a given nearest neighbour bond is different if it belongs to the complex than if it does not. For each alloy we have started with the expression for excess free energy of mixing according to this model and computed the free energy of mixing for different concentrations of the metals within it by deriving the value of interaction parameters through successive approximation method. Thereafter, the expression for excess entropy of mixing is taken into account and the entropy of mixing is computed for different concentrations after finding out the temperature derivative of interaction parameters by the method of successive approximation. Finally the heat of mixing is calculated from these free energy of mixing and entropy of mixing on using the standard thermodynamic relation. The results explain the observed asymmetry in the heat of mixing of the said binary liquid alloys around equi-atomic composition.

The thermodynamic and structural properties of Fe-Pd liquid alloys at 1873 K have been computed using regular associated solution model. To compute these functions we have estimated the mole fractions of the complex assuming the existence of FePd3 complex in the melt. The thermodynamic properties such as free energy of mixing (GM), heat of mixing (HM), entropy of mixing (SM) and activity (a) of the melt have been estimated. To understand the microscopic structural properties, we have estimated the concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit (Scc(0)) and the Warren-Cowley short range parameter (α1). The free energy of mixing was found to be negative at all compositions. But the heat of mixing and the entropy of mixing are found to be positive at all compositions. The equilibrium constant (K) is found be less than negative. The interaction energy parameters (w12, w13 and w23) are all found to be positive and temperature dependent. The theoretical estimation of the concentration fluctuation in long wavelength limit (SCC (0)) is found to be greater than the ideal values throughout the whole range. The theoretical analysis suggests that the Fe-Pd liquid alloy at 1873 K near the melting point is segregating (homo-coordinating) system. The Warren-Cowley short range order parameter is found to be positive which too suggest the homocoordinating (segregating) nature of the system at all compositions. The theoretical analysis also suggests that the Fe-Pd liquid alloy near melting point is weakly interacting system.

<p>Binary liquid alloys often show interesting behaviour as regards their thermodynamic properties. The heat of mixing often bears a large negative value and the entropy of mixing an S-shape. The free energy of mixing becomes asymmetric around the equi-atomic composition especially in case of complex forming alloys. In the present theoretical work we have tried to compute the free energy of mixing of some binary alloys e.g. lithium-lead, potassium amalgam and magnesium-tin―all in liquid state near their respective melting points. All these alloys form strongly interacting systems. So, we have applied Flory’s model which is a statistical mechanical model considering the size factor of the constituent species of a binary liquid alloy. We have ignored the interaction between the complex and each ingredient within an alloy and amended the formula accordingly. In the light of observed activity of a metal within an alloy we have ascertained the interchange energy by the method of successive numerical approximations and then calculated the free energy of mixing according to the said model for different concentrations of the ingredients. Our results explain the observed anomaly in the free energy of mixing of the present liquid alloys.</p><p>Journal of Nepal Physical Society Vol.3(1) 2015: 97-101</p>

Sodium is a highly reactive alkali metal. Within a binary liquid alloy it generally forms complexes. Due to formation of such complexes the thermodynamic properties of the binary alloys of sodium often show anomaly-deviating maximally from that of the ideal alloys. In the present work we have confined our investigation into the free energy of mixing (GM) of two binary alloys of sodium in liquid phase-Na-Pb and Na-Hg-near the melting point. For this purpose we have used Flory’s model and started with the activity of sodium in the sodium-lead liquid alloy and that of mercury in the sodium amalgam at molten stage. By the method of successive approximations we have ascertained the value of interchange energy for each alloy in the light of the experimental values of activity and finally computed GM for different concentrations of the constituent species. Our computation explains the observed symmetry and anomaly in the free energy of mixing of the Na-Pb and Na-Hg liquid alloys respectively.The Himalayan PhysicsVol. 3, No. 32012Page : 24-26
